We have just returned from the second " Guinea Pig Night" at the Piazza. For adventurous diners only, for £19.95 you get a three course meal and coffee. They are experimenting with new dishes so you don't know what they are going to bring you. I think it would spoil the experience for any future participants if I revealed the dishes we were given, in case they are trying out the same ones next week, but suffice it to say that it was very good value, and we gave written feedback at the end of the meal. Guinea Pig wine is also available at £10 a bottle, but we didn't try it. The whole concept puts a smile on your face. The moment when the waiter walked away from the table with the wine list saying "... and you're not having Guinea Pig wine?" was priceless.
It seemed quite popular - I understand they will be doing it again every Monday for the foreseeable future.
Highly recommended.

2011 Michelin Stars Now Out
Very disappointed to see that the Star Inn at Harome has lost its star. When we went last summer it was fault free; all aspects of the food and service were really good. All the other Yorkshire stars were retained. The Black Horse at Oldstead, which we rated very highly, is still on the rising star list; perhaps it will get there next year.
We were also surprised to see that another of our favourites, J Baker's Bistro Moderne in York, has been deleted from the Bib Gourmand list. No idea why, though I hope it might have more to do with pricing than quality.
Still no star for anywhere in Leeds. I suppose only Anthony's might have been in the running. His Piazza at the Corn Exchange still has its Bib Gourmand though. We've been there many times, and though the service can be variable, as many other blogs have noted, it's such a unique space, and the food usually lives up to it. I took this photograph there on a Nokia N95 camera phone. I think it's one of the two best photographs I have ever taken.
